And I'm a really happy person, I enjoy life. I think you see that on people. I think there's nothing more aging than misery.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The only person who can say they're happy getting old is someone who isn't actually old yet. Every day, I get less and less happy about that idea.
My life has run from misery to happiness.
Since our society equates happiness with youth, we often assume that sorrow, quiet desperation, and hopelessness go hand in hand with getting older. They don't. Emotional pain or numbness are symptoms of living the wrong life, not a long life.
I, I don't think anybody's continually happy, uh, except idiots, you know. You know, you have to have little moments of depression.
I've been a much happier person in my early thirties than I was in my twenties.
I never thought getting older would be so great. But when it comes to depression, I have experienced less the older I've gotten.
There is so much to be gained from adulthood! Feelings just become so much deeper. The feeling of sadness and loss is much deeper than when you were a kid, but the feelings of love and happiness have also so much more dimension when you get older... That is what's so hard and exciting about being a human being.
Happiness depends more on how life strikes you than on what happens.
I can see the humorous side of things and enjoy the fun when it comes; but look where I will, there seems to me always more sadness than joy in life.
Misery is the stuff of comedy, if one can just live long enough to get over it.
